Beal's 43 points not enough as Raptors hold on to beat Wizards
Over the course of Sunday’s game against the Toronto Raptors, Bradley Beal lifted the Washington Wizards.
His 21 points in the fourth quarter alone — including a game-tying 3-pointer with less than 30 seconds left — helped force overtime, erasing a 23-point defect from earlier in the afternoon.
But Beal’s heroics weren’t enough.
Star forward Kawhi Leonard lifted the Raptors to a 140-138 victory in double overtime, grabbing a pivotal offensive rebound that set up a go-ahead 3-pointer from center Serge Ibaka.
Beal finished with a season-high 43 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists.
Leonard answered with 41 points, 11 rebounds and five assists.
